Several members of the Goan Diaspora spotted a glaring omission in the failure of the Goa Government to seek a World Heritage status for the Western Ghats in Goa. The state of Goa has been excluded in the application for World Heritage status being forwarded to UNESCO by the Indian government. There is an urgent need to send a petition urging the Government of Goa to take immediate steps to include Goa in the UNESCO nomination dossier. To read the petition and sign it if you agree with it, click here.

Your name, city and country will appear in the petition but not your email address. You are asked for your e-mail address to confirm your details before your name appears on the public list.
